What title is often given to the group of attendants at a quinceañera?

The group of attendants at a quinceañera is often called the court of honor. Members accompany the honoree in formal photographs, entrances, ceremonies, and choreographed dances.

A court commonly includes damas and chambelanes, terms for female and male attendants. The participants are often relatives, close friends, or classmates selected by the quinceañera and her family.

There is no single required size or membership. Some celebrations have a large court, while others feature only a few attendants or none at all. The clothing may coordinate with the honoree’s dress and the event’s color scheme.

The phrase court of honor is ceremonial language, not a claim that the quinceañera holds a political or hereditary title. It reflects the formal presentation of the event and the supportive role of the chosen attendants.
